calculated to deceive those unfamiliar
with the subject. When tho facts OF tho

soME SERIOUS CHARGES.

Land Commissioner Sparks his taken
steps to cancel desert entries embracing
5000 acres of land in this territory upon
which the Union Cattle company and the
Goshen Hole Irrigation company have
proved up In duing 30 he asserts with
out qualification that the government has
been defrauded 10 n shame.
less and wholesale tanner. Dir. Thos.
Sturgis, of this city, president of the
Union Cattle company, who Is mentioned
by name in connection with this matter,
vigorously repudiates the charges and in
Inmates that there is personal malice at
the bottom of them.
So far as The LEADER is concerned it
will never give countenance to fraud in
land or other matters, whether prsctised
by corporations or private individuals.
1t cannot be denied that frauds have been
practised 10 securing titles to public lands
in Wyoming, and it is the sentiment of
all honest people that they should be
vigorously shown up. On the other
hand, while we do not approve of the
persistent abuse Unfortunately heaped
by certain newspapers upon the devoted
head Of Lend Commissioned Sparks, and
while we despise their resort to constant
and reiterated Misrepresentation Of his
motives and actions, still We cannot com-
mend that official in a course which pre-
supposes every ranchman 10 the west a
thief until the contrary has been proven.
We sincerely believe Mr.. Sparks origi-
nally started into this campaign with the
honest intention of reforming abuses. al
though like all reformers his zeal at times
is incorporate and may even approach
tanaticism in Its intensity.
The charges made by the land commls-
siouer are as grave in character as could
possibly be made by one individual against
another. They are of such a nature that
they should never have been made public
unless they are backed by evidence of the
most positive and convincing character.
1t Is scarcely reasonable to suppose that
Dir. Sparks has brought this matter to all
issue without at least believing that he
is backed by an array OF facts and figures
which will beyond a doubt sustain hun in
his course
Mr.. Sturgis, in an interview published
elsewhere, emphatically, and we may say
cateRorically. denies the allegations made
by Dir. Sparks. People in this cnmmun
30 ,rln l..,u - NJ d.
gis will be slow to discredit any statement
which he may make.
At all events the matter is now at issue
and it is our impression that it will be
probed to the quick before the public
again loses sight OF it.

Z The Cheyenne Il Northern, for 3
branch road which extends only seventy
five miles out OF the city, receivesA great
deal of attention from all the Union
Pacific msgnates who visit Eere. First,
President Adams made a tour of inspec-
ton over the line, and her General Man
ager Potter on his trip to the Pacific and
again yesterday upon his return goes out
TO view this north bound branch. From
the amount of interest taken in it there
can no longer be any doubt that the
Chey enne & Northern is destined to be
the most important feeder of the main
line. Many people in a position to at
least shrewdly surmise are of the opinion
that the road will not only be extended To
the Northern Pacific but that branches
will be built from it paralleling the main
line through the territory. A rich field
awaits the road in johnson and Fremont
counties.

The agricultural department has issued
a report which shows that 10000, 600
acres of forest are used yearly in this
country for fuel and lumber. Fires, it is
calculated, destroy about 10, 600, 900 acres
more. The forest arta If the country is
less than 450, 600, 600 acres. At this
rate we will in less than a quarter of a
century have no forests. Whatever re-
lief may come in the future from a
change in the fuel question the demands
for timber will increase as the country
increases in population. Tho whole thing

There is n certain man in st. Paul
whose love Of drink sometimes gets tie

when he held O bar down for several
hours, despite the protests OF his business
partner. Finally the latter called in q

promised to induce tho inebriate TO 60

down OF his knees in the middle of the

CHEYENNE is one of the best towns in
the country in which to start a good
scheme. Once convince the people OF
the value Of the scheme and they enter
upon it enthusiastically. The only fault
to be found is that their ardor sometimes
cools too suddenly. We are now assured
of q 6ne board of trade, but the mere or
ganiEation of it is not sufficient. The re-
suits which it will accomplish will be to
the general advantage of the whole COM
mupity. 1t should therefore receive gen
erous. hearty anil general support.
Not only start the board of trade and
firmly FIX it on a substantial basis but back
it with a strong public sentiment and
don't let the enthusiasm die out.
